500 Jeffery Conversion
05/04/09 01:55 PM

I sent my CZ Safari Classic in 375 H&H into Harlan at Triple River Gunsmithing (they do most of the CZ Custom Shop work) to have it rebarreled to 500 Jeffery in January, the 375 was lovely (accurate, reliable feeding/extraction, and gentle), but just didn't scratch my big bore itch. The good news is, the 500 Jeffery barrel is on and it should be back in my hands by the end of the month. Should be hell on elk, and black bear until I can afford to go after Alaskan browns and Cape Buffalo.

I'm having Harlan add a second mercury recoil reducer and replace the recoil pad with a Pachmayr XLT. The finished rifle should weigh just over 11 lbs without scope, mounts or sling. Here's the before image...

Regards,

Chuck
